Demonland

2 night finals and an AFLX trophy aint half bad.

Grain of salt time but Campbell Brown had Grundy in the Team of the Week.

I figured that would be the standard question. It's already in the bank.

Bayley Fritsch will be our very special guest on the Demonland Podcast tomorrow night (13/8) @ 8:30pm. Got a question for Bayley? (not relating to his move from the backline to the forward line ?) Listen & Chat: https://demonland.com/podcast Call: 03 9016 3666 Skype: Demonland31

No surprises here. May ruled out for the season.

There are not enough facepalm memes on the internet to express my feelings towards this.

When on the wing Salem was on the same side as Sidebottom but was playing the position on the HBF edge of the square. Sidebottom was alone for the majority of the game. If Salem was playing wing he was instructed to play a certain way and that did not include an instruction to man Sidebottom. Not Salem's fault.

I agree. I love Gawn and he has been one of the only enjoyable players to watch this year but I think he'll make the squad and not the actual team. Where was it said that Max was instructed to tag Grundy? I must have missed that in my footy blackout from the end of the game until this morning.

It was our first win for the season. Who would have thought we would only win four more by the time Round 22 came along?

Surely the Norm Smith Curse is still relevant?

Yeah yeah yeah it could be Pick #3 or later but for now it's Pick #2. All trade and draft related topics and posts should be discussed within this sub-forum. The mini-rebuild starts here. https://demonland.com/forums/forum/38-what-to-do-with-pick-2-trade-and-draft-board/

Two clubs that have been hard hit by injury recently took part in a dour battle under dark clouds and, with intermittent showers falling, it wasn’t a pretty game at Victoria Park on Sunday. Despite all that, the Casey Demons added a little ray of sunshine to their day to get the job done over a "traditional" rival with a 15 point victory over Collingwood VFL that breathed life back into their season. There were a few highlights at the ground that in past days has seen many titanic battles between Demons and Magpies. Coach Sam Radford was forced to shuffle his team around to cater for Melbourne’s upcoming five day break but the sheer dominance of Braydon Preuss in the ruck was certainly memorable. Returning from one week in Max Gawn’s big shadows, the giant ruckman amassed 75 hit-outs and had 19 disposals to turn the game in his team’s favour. Defenders, Marty Hore (playing against his old VFL club) and Declan Keilty stopped countless Magpie attacks and were responsible for keeping them down to just two goals to the final break. Indeed, Collingwood was kept goalless from the nine minute mark of the opening term until early in the last such was the stregth of performance of the Casey back half. Also impressive was Josh Wagner who had the run with role on Magpie skipper Alex Woodward and the two engaged in a fascinating contest throughout the day with the Demon’s two goals proving crucial to his team’s victory. As usual, the Casey effort was helped by the reliables - former skipper Jack Hutchins and the hard man Jimmy Munro while Luke Tynan, who began his career at the club before spending some time at Port Melbourne, celebrating his 150th VFL game with a meritorious performance and was one of his team’s best. The win moved the Casey Demons into the top eight by two premiership points over the Box Hill Hawks who have a game in hand so that next week, when the Demons head to Casey Fields for their last home and away match of the season, they must defeat an improving Frankston and hope that Box Hill drops one of its two remaining games to play off in this year’s finals series. 2019 Hard Yakka / Totally Workwear VFL Casey Demons 2.0.12 4.3.27 5.7.37 8.9.57 Collingwood VFL 2.4.16 2.8.20 2.11.23 5.12.42 Goals Casey Demons Chandler Neal-Bullen J Wagner 2 Hutchins White Collingwood VFL Gallucci 2 Crocker Hetherington Stanford Best Casey Demons Keilty Hore Hutchins Tynan J Wagner Preuss Collingwood VFL Tardrew Woodward Hetherington Crocker Appleby Wellings Statistics Toby Bedford 1 behind 4 kicks 3 handballs 7 disposals 4 tackles 51 dream team points Austin Bradtke 1 behind 2 kicks 2 disposals 1 tackle 13 dream team points Kade Chandler 2 goals 7 kicks 2 handballs 9 disposals 4 marks 5 tackles 69 dream team points Dylan Collis 5 kicks 3 handballs 8 disposals 5 marks 4 tackles 52 dream team points Tom Freeman 12 kicks 2 handballs 14 disposals 4 marks 3 tackles 64 dream team points Matt Gahan 10 kicks 3 handballs 13 disposals 3 marks 3 tackles 64 dream team points Marty Hore 20 kicks 5 handballs 25 disposals 9 marks 2 tackles 100 dream team points Jack Hutchins 1 goals 9 kicks 3 handballs 12 disposals 10 marks 1 tackles 70 dream team points James Jordon 8 kicks 3 handballs 11 disposals 2 marks 1 tackle 49 dream team points Declan Keilty 8 kicks 5 handballs 13 disposals 8 marks 1 tackle 1 hit out 60 dream team points Jay Lockhart 1 behind 6 kicks 3 handballs 9 disposals 3 marks 1 tackle 39 dream team points Nick Lowden 2 kicks 4 handballs 6 disposals 1 mark 1 tackles 18 dream team points Corey Maynard 6 kicks 6 handballs 12 disposals 2 marks 3 tackles 42 dream team points James Munro 11 kicks 11 handballs 22 disposals 9 marks 9 tackles 119 dream team points Alex Neal-Bullen 2 goals 8 kicks 7 handballs 15 disposals 3 marks 5 tackles 77 dream team points Braydon Preuss 16 kicks 3 handballs 19 disposals 5 marks 2 tackles 75 hit outs 149 dream team points Charlie Spargo 7 kicks 7 handballs 14 disposals 1 mark 3 tackles 47 dream team points Cory Stockdale 7 kicks 2 handballs 9 disposals 3 marks 5 tackles 51 dream team points Billy Stretch 10 kicks 8 handballs 18 disposals 2 marks 1 tackles 53 dream team points Luke Tynan 13 kicks 8 handballs 21 disposals 5 marks 3 tackles 80 dream team points Josh Wagner 2 goals 20 kicks 2 handballs 22 disposals 7 marks 4 tackles 101 dream team points Liam Wale-Buxton 1 behind 5 kicks 2 handballs 7 disposals 3 marks 2 tackles 13 hit outs 50 dream team points Mitch White 1 goal 2 behinds 10 kicks 1 handballs 11 disposals 5 marks 2 tackles 64 dream team points

It will be up tomorrow.

I never thought MFCSS could crossover to stressing about winning a game but here we are.

Saw Roosy at the footy yesterday wearing a Dees scarf.
